Problem Description:
Hi all! I am trying to connect my mirrorless camera (Fuji x T1) to my laptop in order to transfer the raw files (photos) to my laptop. I don’t have an SD card reader or slot. So I am using a USB cable. Unfortunately the camera isn’t recognized. Virtually nothing is happening on desktop side when I plug in the camera and turn it on.
The camera connects w/o problems to another laptop running 18.04 LTS
What I’ve Tried:
Nothing so far. I am not sure how to go about it, and I haven’t found any solutions online.

One very curious but likely unrelated thing here is that your UID seems to be 101. How did you get such a low user ID ? In Ubuntu and debian User IDs below 1000 are usually reserved for system users (daemons, services, etc) …
Well, if you use the normal installer the first user you create always gets a user ID of 1001 assigned … (you can check the ID with the id command), technically something like a uid of 101 should not be possible …
But I don’t want to de-rail the topic here, I just find it very curious …
nope, it still has the 101 set … but that line is unrelated to the camera anyway, it comes from thunderbird …
If you do not see anything when plugging in the camera, this points more towards a hardware problem (no power on the USB bus, etc), the plug event should at least be recognized by the kernel even if it can not do anything with it it should still log it … are you sure the cable is okay ?
